Besides our paid staff, NFC also relies on volunteers. Every year, we welcome groups and individuals from different countries—such as Germany, Canada, France, Hong Kong and Cambodia—who support our children by helping with classes, teaching their languages, and playing games with them. In addition, NFC also welcomes individual volunteers or groups from the Netherlands who work on specific projects for the CSEP and CEP programs. We are very grateful to everyone who has volunteered with us and are always delighted to welcome new volunteers. Find more information and our contact here.
